Redhead Lush No. 2

Artist's Statement: Climbing Redhead on a day when rain chased us out of the house, following a seam of red until I fell off. Legs covered in scratches and red earth. I said that you came out of the earth to me, we walk on the beach and coal ships float on the ebb of this memory. The shark tower is bleached

CHG Director's Statement:Expressive, bursts of energy, strength of colour, and wall power are just some of the adjectives or phrases to describe Phil Stallard’s paintings. His style will refresh any interior with exciting incendiary like bursts of colour and tone! - Mark Widdup.

"There is a "total experience" in a Phil Stallard painting, a similar notion that no part of the painting is bland, or subordinate, or to be passed over. Stallard's work is very painterly indeed. His oil-paint is applied with a fluid lushness, a sensuousness, that recalls 1960’s Brett Whiteley."- Peter Pinson, OAM.
